Your Car and Smartphone, Connected
Just plug the Automatic Link into your car's data port. Your car and smartphone
will automatically connect whenever you drive, wirelessly.
This is the Automatic Link
The Link talks to your car's onboard computer and uses your smartphone's GPS and data plan to upgrade your car's capabilities. Every Link works with both iPhone and Android.
Automatic works only in the United States with just about any gasoline engine car sold in the U.S. since 1996.
Is my car supported?Easy Install, No Tools Required
The Automatic Link plugs into the same port your mechanic uses when you take your car in for service. It's easily accessible near the steering wheel.
Bluetooth® Low Energy Wireless
Using Bluetooth® 4.0 technology and sophisticated energy-saving algorithms, the Link minimizes your phone's battery consumption.
Drive Smarter, Save Big
Automatic helps you make small changes in your driving habits
that can lead to huge savings on gas over time.
Driving Feedback
Automatic learns about your driving style and gives you subtle audio cues when you do things that waste gas, like:
Rough Braking
Braking abruptly decreases fuel efficiency and dramatically increases wear-and-tear on your car’s brake pads.
Speeding
Highway speeding may not save you much time, but driving 10 MPH over the speed limit reduces fuel efficiency by 12-15%.
Rapid Acceleration
Stepping hard on the gas pedal decreases fuel efficiency and wastes money.
Automatic shows how you're doing on every trip.
Drive Score
Automatic scores your driving every week to help you improve. A high score could save you hundreds on gas every year.
Trip Timeline
The Automatic app displays detailed info about your week, like how much you drive and where.
See the actual MPGs for all your trips, even for older cars that don't display fuel efficiency on the dashboard.
Automatic also detects* fill-ups and even tracks local gas prices to show you how much you're spending.
*Not supported in some car models.
Automatic Calls for Help in a Crash
Crash Alert looks out for you by automatically notifying
911* with your location in a crash. For free.
Crash AlertBETA
The Automatic Link includes a built-in accelerometer that can detect many types of crashes. Automatic uses your phone's data connection to immediately report the crash to 911* with your name, location, and vehicle description.
Once help responds, Automatic can send a text message to your loved ones to let them know what happened, where you are, and that help is on the way.
*Crash Alert, like all Automatic features, works only in the U.S. You must be logged into the Automatic app and connected to the Automatic Link. Location services must be enabled, and you must have an adequate data connection at the time of the crash to support location services and transmission of a crash report to Automatic's servers. Depending on your location, first responders or other local authorities may be reached instead of a 911 operator.
Keep Your Engine Healthy
Automatic connects to your car's onboard computer to decipher that
little 'check engine' light and explain exactly what's wrong.
Push Notifications
When the 'check engine' light comes on, Automatic alerts you right away with a push notification.
It then retrieves the Engine Trouble Codes – which help mechanics diagnose the problem – from your car's onboard computer.
Engine Health
Automatic shows you what those Engine Trouble Codes mean and in many cases offers possible solutions. For simple problems, you can even clear the light yourself, and save a trip to the shop.
For more complicated issues, Automatic shows you well-reviewed mechanics nearby. Call them or get directions with a tap.
Never Forget Where You Parked
Automatic always remembers where you
parked, so you don't have to.
No Manual Check-In Required
Because Automatic connects to your car when you drive, it always knows where you parked.
Multi-Driver Support
Drivers of the same car can grant each other access to its parked location for seamless car sharing.
